Microsoft embedded operating systems have the following: 1.wince2.wince.net3.windows XP Embedded
WinCE does not support the development of .NET platform, Wince.Net is supported by WinXP Embedded .Net platform development.
WinXP Embedded only supports the Hardware platform for X86 architecture, Wince.NET supports all hardware platforms.
Wince.NET and WinXP Embedded are built into .NET Framework, which can be done directly .NET applications, do not need to be installed .NET Framework.
The executable code for the application of the WinXP Embedded platform is greater than the Wince and Wince.Net platform, supports higher configuration handheld devices and embedded devices.
At present, the choice of embedded platform is suggested that from Wince.Net and WinXP Embedded, WinCE is not adapted to the current hardware and software standard.
The development tool of the embedded platform has the following: 1.Embedded Visual Tools 3.02.EMBedded Visual Tools 20023.Embedded Visual C 4.04.Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Smart Device Extending for Visual Studio.net 2003
Embedded Visual Tools allows Visual Basic to develop with Visual C , but cannot be developed .NET platform development.
EVC4.0 supports the development of the .NET platform.
SDE2003 allows VB.NET to develop, support .NET platform development under VS.NET 2003.
If the condition is allowed, it is recommended to use SDE2003 to develop under VS.NET 2003.
If you develop in C language, it is recommended to develop EVC4.0.
During the development process, you need to install the simulation environment of the smart device and the embedded device.
When debugging, it is recommended to use Microsoft's Virtual PC to make the simulation of various operating system platforms, you can get the best test results.
About Virtual PC can find relevant information on the Microsoft Technology website.
